  • Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture Novel Shows a Very Different Vision of the Trek Universe

    Jump

  • You can tell that Roddenberry always considered Star Fleet to be conservative in TOS. They were practically a navy. Kirk and Scotty were both military men, as were many other members of the crew.

    Personally, I'm fine with this. I like that even Star Fleet has improved over the course of the show. Humanity should improve as we meet new life and civilizations. And in SNW, we saw that, even back then, there were Star Fleet officers like we know in the future, who were horrified by Star Fleet's militarization. It improves the believability of the setting IMO

  • Are there any episode plots that bug anyone? Here's one that got me...

  • That central character is the currator of the Voyager museum, and the Lower Decks crew is there to take the newly completed museum ship to Earth. He spends the whole time stressing over their antics.

    I was actually looking for a gif of him saying "Subtle updates that do not impact historical consistency are an acceptable compromise for preservation!" but I couldn't find it lol

  • I really hated that episode for exactly that reason. I'm not a big fan of Cadet Uhura's plotlines in general. It is worth going back though. There are some fantastic episodes of SNW. Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach and the Elysian Kingdom were great, and the S1 finale was a What If of Pike in Kirk's place facing down the Romulans in Balance of Terror, which I loved. The Gorn are cool, and Spock's hijinks are fun in an old fashioned Trek kind of way that I'm glad we have back. And season 2 only gets better!

  • He wound up in basically exactly the Kobayashi Maru scenario, and they give him an especially hard time for it, since he's a Klingon. "I would have thought if anyone could beat it, it would have been you, Mr. Worf."

    He insists it's not his fault, because Star Fleet training says he should accept the no-win scenario

  • I applaud Picard's patience

    Jump

  • Kirk is just assuming Picard is some kind of alien hallucination from the get-go, and Picard, from the later Star Fleet, knows this job is whacky, and sometimes you just gotta let your officers talk themselves through it

  • The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry?

    Jump

  • It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US

  • Yeah, still one of my favs. I wish we saw more of that Romulan. He was a good guy

  • Alright, kids. What class of ship just blew apart off the port bow?

    Jump

  • I doubt all of them are there for no reason. Keiko was a botanist, I'm sure other civilians onboard work with the crew as well. Maybe marrying someone in the fleet is a cheat code to get on a ship without having to join lol
